More quotes by Nicolas Cage
How do you rebel in a family of rebels? That's the age-old question. I guess I could have by not going into the arts, but the thing is, I couldn't do anything else.
Nicolas Cage
I do enjoy animated movies.
Nicolas Cage
I always see America as really belonging to the Native Americans. Even though I'm American, I still feel like a visitor in my own country.
Nicolas Cage
As a child, these colourful superheroes that could fly, or were horrifying like Ghost Rider and the Hulk, with this tremendous rage or these supernatural powers, provided an escape for me from my mundane existence, from my lack of friends or my inability to communicate well with people. They liberated me.
Nicolas Cage
Having been a father for 19 years I realise fatherhood has changed me.
Nicolas Cage
I always wanted to find a way to apply my acting in a big mad monster movie where I was transforming into this scary entity.
Nicolas Cage
I think I've become more relaxed throughout my career. I don't feel the need to jump up and down and make a big noise to get people to pay attention to me. I don't need to do punk rock gestures or eat a cockroach or do something weird to say I exist.
Nicolas Cage
I love working with younger actors because they always come into the game full of energy and ideas that challenge me and keep me learning and stimulated.
Nicolas Cage
I'm not afraid to play ugly - look at 'Adaptation.' I looked like a turd that a cat had coughed up.
Nicolas Cage
I have dogs, and it's no secret that I find reptiles interesting, but the thing about reptiles is that they really just wanna be left alone, and I understand them. It's, 'Don't pick me up, stop holding me, don't look at me, just leave me alone.' I have to admit, sometimes I feel like that.
Nicolas Cage
I'm sticking my tongue out in scenes to try to make that work in 3D. I'm thinking I'll try to get my tongue all the way out to the second row of the audience.
Nicolas Cage
I will promise you that if I can give you two good scenes -- which is what I always try to do in every movie -- then I feel like I'm doing my job.
Nicolas Cage
I really think it's important that my beliefs don't impinge upon what you get from the movie. It's your opinion that matters and it's far more interesting than mine.
Nicolas Cage
I think a good movie is a good movie whether that falls into a genre or not.
Nicolas Cage
Most of my favourite moments in film have been when I've had an opportunity to say something from scratch, something original, whether I jotted down a few lines or it came out in improvisation.
Nicolas Cage
We've become so glorified in the movie-star system that it's become this artificial royalty. The truth is that we're circus clowns.
Nicolas Cage
I think what makes people fascinating is conflict, it's drama, it's the human condition. Nobody wants to watch perfection.
Nicolas Cage
Science fiction is a way that I can go into the abstract, go into the imagination, and audiences are still willing to go along for the ride.
Nicolas Cage
When you start a movie, it's not like other kinds of work that you have when you know your boss for years or colleagues for years. You're meeting everyone, mostly, for the first time. You have to get comfortable with those people so you can perform, because the first thing that is going to shut you down is any kind of anxiety.
Nicolas Cage
The biggest problem for me was feeling that as I became more balanced and a better man that I wouldn't have the fire to create from.
Nicolas Cage
